turtle

[Linda Fink]

I'm sorry. It is the dictionary that Eula Petite made of jargon words she
could remember. Henry Zenk originally got her interested in relearning
Jargon and asked her to write down words she remembered as they came to her.
She compiled them into a dictionary that she used when she started teaching
jargon classes. Periodically she or one of the other elders, during a jargon
conversation, would pop out with another word that had been hiding in her
memory somewhere and Eula would say "Oh! I better write that down and tell
Henry." So I presume she periodically updated her list with Henry.

Turtle is one of those words added later, and now that I look again, I'm not
altogether sure which syllable is accented. Maybe somebody else on the list
knows.
